Sorbus discolor explained

Sorbus discolor is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to China.[1] Although it is recorded in wide use as an ornamental tree in the United Kingdom and other countries,[2] it is not; "Sorbus discolor" is a name erroneously applied to Sorbus commixta, the Japanese rowan.[3] [4] Sorbus commixta fruit is bright orange to red, whereas the fruit of Sorbus discolor is white, or possibly dull pink to yellowish-orange.[3]
